"Houston, $8 for a can of peanuts? WTF?"
I can just imagine the two guys eyeing each other like in those old WB cartoons: one turns into a giant hot dog, the other into a giant hamburger....
While I agree with much of what the author of the letter has to say, I must say that I'm always dismayed by the holy wars that are fought in the technology community; moreover, at the amount of time and energy that are wasted on the holy wars.
Open- vs. Closed-
Java vs. MS

Moderators get busy - this scores 1, yet an Austin Powers reference scores +5?
How about we put the ground-based lasers in an abandoned drive-in, and bounce them off the screens?
"Won't you gentlemen have a Pepsi?"
Nor is the phenomenon necessarily new - didn't the roughly the same thing happen around the turn of the (last) century with the automotive industry? I remember reading somewhere that hundreds (if not thousands) of automobile companies were formed and went bust in a matter of years, taking lots of investors' money with them.
Hope no one looks out the window and sees a gremlin ripping pieces off.

I have dual monitors at work; don't at home because I use a KVM switch to manage four PCs + laptop (yeah, in/. terms, I'm a 98-pound weakling). Can't stand the thought of the second monitor being wasted on 4 machines. Does anyone make a multi-monitor KVM?
I'm also in the same quandry in re: bluetooth wireless keyboards and mice....
"Map depicts an approximation of outdoor coverage."
As a current Cingular customer, I can attest to the fact that it's a *WILD* approximation - their coverage actually sucks. I've been in several major metro areas where I could get *no* signal, while my Verizon-using counterparts were okay.
I was hoping that they could send the Spirit to find the Beagle (yes, I *know* it would take a gazillion years), where it would whip out its spinning blades, and....
Battlebots: Mars!
My only question is who would run the obstacles - the Chinese?

How many digits does the trip odometer have?

It's *still* not responding to signals.
